Mitigation of soil resistivity using composition of zeolite, NaCl, and charcoal

Abstract The grounding resistance value is directly proportional to soil resistivity. better as low possible for the equipment body grounding. purpose provide a path of short circuit current flows ground protection and safety personal also equipment. resistivity great influenced by moisture substance content in soil. highland rocky commonly are poor Transmission line towers can be not avoided through region. To reduce widely carried out addition material (LMR) or LMR composite other materials. This research, mitigate Zeolite with NaCl, Charcoal, Soil. Various compositions LMR, Charcoal were used find lowest at certain depth. three-point method was measure value. research result gives information that best composition 90% Zeolite, 5% NaCL charcoal rod depth 1.2m, decrease from 94.3Ω down 5.3Ω (94.4%). dominant influence resistance.
